Starting with last night, poor Teen One was up till 3am with her sore throat, she eventually came downstairs for some lemsip, a cuppa and some toast....I am glad to say I never heard a thing and am still managing to avoid the germs somehow!
My excuse is I am so busy I'm not still long enough for the germs to catch me!
First thing for me was nipping into town for what I hope is the final couple of gifts.
A friend called in for a quick cuppa, which gave me a break from the marathon pressie wrapping.
I then wrapped up the chocolate sticks I had made last weekend and then made a few more.
I just need Teen One to make me some pretty labels to finish them off.
It was then back to the attic for more present wrapping.
At the beginning of the year I blogged about all the bargains I had got for around 25p in Tesco...
...well today all those bargains came into their own as Teen Two went through the pile picking out presents for his seven....yes seven LSA's and three teachers!
Last night I sewed up the dolly cardi....but not without incident...I managed to sew up the wrong seams not once but twice!
How many years have I been knitting?
And how many times did I check I had the right seams together!
Oh well...all sorted finally.
Did anyone watch The Chase tonight?
One of the questions was...
"Which term is used in knitting?"
Cast on/Cast off/Castaway...
Cast on/Cast off/Castaway...
... and the Chaser got it wrong!!!
Tonight we will be saying goodbye to our Malaysian student doctor.
He has been a pleasure to get to know and we will really miss him.
From time to time we may still see him, as he is only going to Southampton initially, and he has yet to decide where to settle after his finals.
did you mean which term wasn't used in knitting? I thought that you could use both cast on and cast off?
ReplyDeleteit might have been which is used at the start of knitting...that would make more sense wouldn't it!
